TREATED LIKE A SUSPECT
HON. PATRICK A. COLLINS MEETS
A NOVEL RECEPTION.

BELFAST, July 2S.-A sensation was ere
atcd here to-day i'll consequence Of the pub
lication in several newspapers of reports
that Hon. Patrick A. Collins, of Boston,
Mass, and his entire party had been ar
rested by the government on their arrival
from Glasgow There was, however, no
truth in the reports as published and but
slight grounds for their invention, The facts
are that when Mr. Collins and his party
reached Belfast they were detained in the
custom house with much formality and
their luggage subjected TO a rigid
examination. Every parcel of
it was unpacked and minutely examined,
Even a small handbag carried was opened
and upset. When the trunks were emptied
the bottoms aud sides were all sounded for
the purpose of ascertainlng whether they
contained secret chambers for smuggling
goods or dynamite. What made all this the
more exasperatng to the travellers was the
fact that the work was performed by detec-
tives, and not by the regular customs otii-
cials. Mr.. Collins was manifestly aStounded
and irritated at the treatment to which he
was subjected.
Another member of the Irish constabu-
larry has resigned as protest against the
coercion act
PARLIAMENT'S DISSOLUTION POSSIBLE.
LONDON, July 2S.-Lord Salisbury, speak
ing at Norwich to day, warned the Con
servative party to prepare for possible
dissolution of Parliament. He said that
Parliament had often met with AN early
termination when its life seemed endan-
gered and that the Conservative party
must organize to instruct the people against
the deception of the separatist apostles, who
were only too numerous.
Joseph Chamberlain's son. who is now n
student at Berlin, will contest for a seat in
Parliament as soon as another vacancy
occurs in the border boroughs.
URGING HASTE.
On the resnmption of the debate on the
land bill in the House of Commons this
evening Mr.. Smith, the government leader,
appealed to the House to expedite the pass
age of the bill, which he said would prevent
harsh evictions He would not use any
threat but he would remind the Honse that
unless the bill were through the committee
stage early next week it would be difficult
to pass the measure at al.
Mr.. O'Kelly (NaUionalist) moved to give a
tenant six months for redemption after re-
ceiving written notice of eviction.
After some discussion Mr.. Smith repeated
his appeal, remarking that Ilch amend
ment if persisted in would endanger the
passage of the bill.
Mr. Parnell retorted that if there was not
time for reasonable discussion of this amend
ment, there was no time for discussion OF
any other amendment.
The amendment was rejected by a vote Of
164 to 142 The announcement of the vote
was received with loud opposition cheers.

Mr. Stuart (RadicaD moved that year be
allowed for redemption.
Mr.. Balfour opposed the motion, but said
he was willing to accept an amendment al
lowing one month to elapSe between the
Judgment decree and the serving of the no
tice
Mr.. Morley suggested that the govern
ment go further and allow a tenant one
month of undsturbed possession between
the service Of the notice and the execution
of the decree.
Mr. Balfour accepted the amendment, OK
pressing the hope that the opposition would
attempt to press the government no further
After further discussion passage Mt arms

chairman, the former complaining of the
Conservative interruptions. The incident
was ended by Mr.. Healy apOlogizing.
